| dc.description.abstract | All 798 registered psychologists in British Columbia were surveyed, in order to explore the standards of privacy protection of client information. A sample of 322 responses (40% response rate) was obtained. Sixty-nine survey questions, divided into eight different practice areas, explored the standards of practice, with findings presented as frequencies. The privacy protection standards for each area were compared to the standards set out in both the British Columbia Freedom of lnformation and Protection of Privacy Act, and the Canadian Standards' Association's Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information. A number of areas were identified in which respondents were not practicing according to these standards. Five variables were also analyzed to determine if significant differences in responses occurred when the sample was grouped according to public/private work setting, level of degree, number of years in practice, urban/rural setting, and gender. A number of significant relationships were found relating to work setting and gender. | |
